My first time in the Queer capital of the UK. Brighton is a city that exudes kindness and radical change within the LGBTQ community. The vegetarian food is DIVINE, the men are GORG, the pier is ICONIC, the art is INVIGORATING, and there are wineries just 20 minutes from the city center. DRAG is really big in this city. Drag shows and cabarets mostly fill the Queer bars throughout the week. Brighton, UK is about 40 minutes from London and a super walkable city. JUST the TIP bring layers because at night no matter when you visit it gets cold!
The LGBTQ community is under attack on a global level, particularly in the state of Florida. It's imperative to shed preconceived notions and witness firsthand why Greater Fort Lauderdale stands as a beacon of safety acceptance and inclusion for the Queer community. So I decided to ditch my winter coat, put on a tank top, grab my clack fan, and visit the city for ‘Everyone Under The Sun!'

Being immersed in nature here has transformed my life, providing a profoundly healing experience as I reconnect with cherished memories of my mom, who passed away in 2020. Celebrating my 40th birthday surrounded by magical unicorns and the FAB 5 (big 5), I couldn't have imagined a more elaborate setting to manifest, rejuvenate, and forge deeper connections. Silvan Safari at Sabi Sands private reserve is giving 10s across the board henny. I am team Rhino forever- you are and will always be my family. Happy 20th birthday to RHINO AFRICA.

Want to go to the edge of the world? Want to be in a place that legit feels like MARS?! Want to go with a bunch of LGBTQ folks on a Pride Cruise to ANTARCTICA in FEB 2025? Watch this video to find out what you are in store for. I have dreamed of visiting Antarctica since I was a little kid. Cruising with Aurora Expeditions has showed me how much the expedition team truly cares about this land. Every day felt like the coolest science class. We learned how Antarctica is not owned by anyone but it is governed by an Antarctic treaty. IAATO is the organization founded in 1991 to advocate and promote the practice of safe and environmentally responsible travel to the Antarctic. IATTO rules this continent and we must play by their rules. Each landing spot has restrictions for capacity of people and enough time between visitors so that the land has time to heal regenerate and recover…
Curacao is located just above Venezuela and is surrounded by Aruba and Bonaire making up the ABC Islands. While LGBTQ folks still do not have gay marriage legalized, the fight continues. The Queer scene in Curacao was fascinating and the folks who live here LOVE their land. I have never seen beaches with water so blue!
Osaka, Japan is known as the kitchen of Japan and is legit the coolest city I have ever visited. It is enormous and filled with so much heart. With over 100 gay bars, this eclectic city has something for everyone. This city oozes kindness.

Do you know where Tasmania is? When I first found out I was going I didn't realize it was the southern point of Australia and so close to Antarctica! This is the last state in Australia to decriminalize homosexuality and now has some of the most progressive LGBTQIA+ rights in Australia.
24 Hours is not a long time to see Tasmania, but rest assured I saw a lot! If you ever visit Tasmania follow along with my itinerary!
I put on my cowboy hat and went to the BIG D to explore everything that Dallas has to offer. After a 3 hour flight on Alaska Airlines, I landed in the HOTTEST CITY EVER! I knew I was going to be met with Southern Hospitality, but the kindness from the locals was next level. Check out all the activities, restaurants, bars, museums, and pools I hit up. I also got to interview the Mayor Pro Tem, Chad West to learn how inclusive Dallas really is.
Miami FLORIDA- you give me so much life. You are a city where the minority is the majority- with crystal clear waters, beaches galore, an amazing sense of community, the most outrageous nightlife, fabulous Art Deco architecture, and the most beautiful men!
Don’t just come here and hang in south beach- there is so much to explore on the mainland with gardens, more beaches, street art, top-notch vegetarian food and a vibrant pulse where ever you go.
I know Florida has been getting slack for the DONT say gay bill but henny the folks in Miami say gay Gay gay GAY!
Thank you Miami and Beaches and Visit Miami LGBTQ for bringing me to strut my stuff in my speedo for this 24 Hour GAYover!
Cape Town, South Africa is a mecca for LGBTQ travelers. Filled with gorgeous mountains, thriving businesses, luxury for DAYSSSS, wineries that will blow your mind, and a very inclusive LGBTQ culture.
While basking in luxury, I spent a few days taking in the hikes, vegetarian food, and beautiful men. Apartheid legislation was appealed in 1994, which means it has only been 28 years since South Africa has had equality.
The fight is on to be more inclusive, diverse, and accepting within the LGBTQIA+ community because until we have rights for all we don't have rights at all.

Liverpool, you ARE AN absolute GEM! If you’re planning a trip to the UK, this is the city that needs to be on your radar. I’ve completely fallen for your quirky charm and the unstoppable zest for life that Scousers have. Sure, you might know Liverpool for its legendary football and The Beatles, but there’s so much more beneath the surface. The art scene is outrageousLY QUIRKY queer and inventive. And the music? Let’s just say there’s a reason Liverpool has more number-one hits than anywhere else on the planet. But it doesn’t stop there. The vegetarian and vegan food here? SO easy to find and some of the best I’ve had globally. And the architecture? Prepare to have your mind blown - it’s like walking through a living museum.
What truly made me fall in love with Liverpool, though, is the warmth and acceptance of the locals. They didn’t just welcome me and my rainbow flags and clack fans—they embraced them. The sense of community here is something truly special. This is a city where activism, allyship, and adventure are all woven into the fabric of daily life.
